LF ideas for destruction rotations
My current destruction rotation is (CoE if there is not a boomkin), immolate>incinerate>(dont hate me for this next spell, tanks hold aggro too well)searing pain>incineratex2>searing pain>conflagrate(for the added speed)chaosbolt>immolate>soulfire>rinse and repeat(cept for immolate). thats just my spec though... I average around 1k-1.2k dps. In my current gear anyway, thats wat I get. Please your own rotations. |

Re: LF ideas for destruction rotations
A couple things to note, and please keep in mind that this is all assuming that you are interested in maximizing your damage potential... First, Searing Pain will never be better DPCT (damage per cast time) than Incinerate. Never. That should always be your primary nuke. Second, Soul Fire will never be better DPCT than Incinerate. Never. Noticing a pattern here? What I have found to be the easiest cycle to sustain in actual raid conditions is to follow the same cycle after every conflag. Immo -> CB -> Incin. There is then filler time for Incin spam, lifetap when needed, and refreshing either Curse of Agony if you can, or Corr if you are on a debuff curse. Basically you get the following... Conflag -> Immolate -> Chaos Bolt -> Incinerate -> Filler where Filler is priority based for Lifetap > Corruption > Incinerate I've found that this follows a very natural flow that keep CB almost always on cooldown and makes the most use of Immolate. Wow Web Stats There's a Brutalus kill using that rotation. No moonkin, no elemental shaman, ret paladin for mana return. One heroism, no drums, and me sucking at keeping Corruption up.

Depending on how big of an impact having the damage bonus on Incinerate from an Immolate dot being up on your target, you may want to consider a different spell to consume your Backdraft charges on. |

Re: LF ideas for destruction rotations
Im fairly certain i have backdraft, im checking it and it seems to show backdraft filled. and mayb im just an inexperienced raider but I never miss, resist, or lose any damage from lack of hit. I was considering getting Eye of Mag so i could use the lack of hit 2 my advantage but im considering the crit trink from arc instead. and that soulfire i use is simply when i have both emp imp and backdraft up so i can benefit from the crit. O and i throw shadowfury into that whenever i get the chance. Honestly you may b right bout searing pain, it may be useless. ill try it in the next raid i can get in2. KK guys, thx 4 the help specially you Kirayln for the tips. And thx 2 everyone for your great advice. |

Re: LF ideas for destruction rotations
What I Found actually works well is: Curse of Agony (or CoE), Corr, Immo, Incin, Incin, Incin, Conflag [Heres where I mix it]SBolt, CBolt, Sbolt (I Find that with the haste, SBolt does much more + damage for that span of time than incin, specially on crits), then follow up with immo, corruption, and wait for Curse of Agony to be done before refreshing (or skip, duh, if CoE is on target) I decided to go full Destro (all 61 points) and spec into Shadowfury AND Imp Sbolt, so when i crit with Sbolt (which is rather frequent) I get a nice +shdw damage buff which is nice for the following dots and for the AoE pulls in BT and Hyjal SoC X 3 ---> Shadowfury --> Reign of Fire = AoE Master.... Thoughts? :p

Re: LF ideas for destruction rotations
Theres two problems with that spec you have. The rotation is actually good, might try it. The problem is that you have Imp SB and full destro. Some of those spells arent needed while some in other trees are. say... your using your imp, hes now a big part of your dps. Emp Imp + Impr Imp + increased speed 4 firebolts= big help but that requires you to go into demo shadowfury itself is very good, i find its a good opener 4 my conflag sequence and imp shadowbolt will not help your AOEs as who in their right mind spams SB in hopes of a crit?  Its a good concept but completely irrelevant in terms of your total damage.Not trying 2 insult your ideas, i think that your shadowbolt idea is much better than dual incs for the whole conflag thing. Btw... looking for som affliction specs to get invovled in this also, i dont c that many pros to affliction other than you can heal yourself... gratz
